Yemen has been dealing with a war for a long time. The situation is getting worse. A crisis is in full development.

Children are some of the most affected.

According to data, more than two million children are starving. A series of pictures show such children.

The United Nations warns that a measure should be taken immediately. If things go like this for too long, famine could be reached across the whole country.

Because of problems related to starving, a kid is dying every ten minutes.

Since the war started a couple of years ago, more than 1,400 children passed away. The war is affecting everyone, but they are more fragile.

According to UNICEF, more than 500k children are suffering from malnutrition in Yemen.

A doctor from the country says that the disease hit all of a sudden and is spreading more. Organizations, no matter their type, are not able to do anything. It has become too severe.

The results of the war are terrible. In just two years, thousands of people died. It looks like the war won’t come to an end too soon.

For these children, no one is sure of what to do. Serious help is needed. Major organizations are trying to provide support, but it’s not enough.

Poverty is also very common. Some haven’t been paid since September in the capital city.

Children turned into beggars are seen on the streets. Their number has increased considerably. Most of them ask for something to eat or drink.

When it comes to the medical system, about a third of the population beneficiates from it.

UNICEF needs about 55 million pounds to provide help to the malnourished children.
